Jackson Hole

Fresh alpine air, panoramic mountain views and an authentic old West culture guarantee an incredible adventure for honeymooners during summer or winter in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Considered “the last of the old West” Jackson Hole is a place where the honeymooners will never run out of things to do or places to explore.

In winter, couples can choose from a variety of snow sports. The area is famous for its world class ski resorts: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Grand Targhee Resort and Snow King Resort. But the fun doesn’t end there, winter honeymooners can also enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, mountain climbing, heli-skiing, dog sledding and more.

Summer brings unbeatable weather for exploring the great outdoors. Countless hiking trails, to backpack and camp. Long sunny days allow time in the morning to hit the trails and time in the evening to relax and indulge in local mountain cuisine (think locally-sourced ingredients, organic vegetables and ethically raised meats).

Lodging options are plentiful — choose an authentic log cabin where you can cozy-up fireside or luxuriate slopeside in the Four Seasons ski-in, ski-out resort; there’s something to suit every style in Jackson Hole.

LGBTQIA+ Inclusivity
The unanimous passing of a nondiscrimination ordinance in 2018 is just one example of Jackson Hole’s commitment to inclusivity. Couples of all types are free to express their personalities and simply enjoy the beauty of nature as it was intended.

Things to Know About Jackson Hole

Traveling to Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) is a short 20-minute drive to the Jackson Town Square. If you can, book your seat on the right side of the airplane to get an incredible view of the Tetons as you fly in.

Driving to Jackson Hole
Yellowstone National Park borders Jackson Hole on the North so plan accordingly if you are intending on driving from that direction. If you do choose to come that way it will be a slow (albeit scenic) journey through Yellowstone.

When to visit Jackson Hole
If you arrive on a weekend between the third weekend in December and the third week in March—between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.— expect to be greeted at baggage claim by the Howdy Pardners. Dressed like the cowboys and cowgirls who settled this valley in the early 1900’s the Howdy Pardners are enthusiastic ambassadors of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce.

What should I keep in mind when traveling to Jackson Hole?
The area’s high elevation, rugged terrain, and relatively low humidity can create major fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, and wind in a short period of time. Avoid risk by paying close attention to the weather forecast before setting out for the day.

Wait, isn’t the town called “Jackson?”
Correct! Although it is widely known as “Jackson Hole,” the town itself is actually just “Jackson.” “Jackson Hole” refers to the entire valley that rests at the base of the Tetons, extending from Hoback to Moran north to south, and Jackson to Wilson east to west.
